Looking for a trip

Well I cut the cord this morning, and announced my resignation. After
15 long years working for big oil, I can think of no better way to
celebrate my unemployment then a trip down the Grand Canyon. Here is
where one of you lucky permit holders who needs (or has room for)
another raft or kayak can help.

This is the part where I shamelessly tout my great prowess as a boatman
and kayaker...

Anyhow, I am 36 years old and I've been running rivers for approximately
15 years. About five years ago I bought part of river outfitting
company (Adventure River Expeditions, Moab, UT) and became a
professional guide. I've spent most of my weekends
and vacations running rivers ever since, averaging 40-50 days per year
on the river during this time.

I've rowed Cataract, Desolation, and Westwater canyons numerous times at
a wide variety of river levels as a professional guide. I've also rowed
the Rogue river in Oregon, as well as most of the desert rivers in Utah.

I began kayaking three years ago, and I am a solid class IV+ creek and
big water boater, noteworthy credits include, Lochsa (upper and lower at
8'), Selway (at 7'), Murtaugh section of Snake (6-20,000), Bear, etc.

Other qualifications: First Responder & CPR, fair dutch oven cook,
reasonably literate (engineering degree), access to boats and lots of
river gear, I own a truck with a hitch, and I have a great love of the
desert and rivers of the Colorado plateau.

I have never been down the Big Ditch.

If your looking to add someone to your trip, particularly in the October
time frame, you can contact me by email: CVIN@chevron.com
By phone: 801-467-4190 (h) or 801-539-7372 (w).

Hope to hear from someone...
